03 Cobra on Horsepower TV

[ModsAway]

For those of you that saw this special do you agree with my opinion of the show..... DISAPPOINTING.

Heck, 90% of us on this board have done more to our Cobras then these guys did.

I guess I was expecting a full show on our cars but maybe thats just because I'm in love with my car more then they are.

They never mentioned: A/F ratios, why changing the stock programming was worth so much HP (Pig Rich), never even talked about Torque, didn't touch the exhaust or CAI.

Ah well, I guess my expectations for this show were FAR too high. I will just stick to this board as it is much more exciting then that show was.

There were a couple of other threads discussing the show. The general consensus seems to be that was "OK", didn't tell us much of anything, and left out the basic mods that most do first -- the catback and intake. As a matter of fact, with their Hyertech programmer they stated it is not recommended to make an intake or catback change. So......very disappointing show in my opinion both in what they covered and their lack of knowledge about the '03/'04 Cobra.

I agree with you, and so does the rest of the forum ;-)

i think that hypertech sent them a programmer and upr sent them the pullies. this was for advertisment purposes to show there products. all the show had to do was find a cobra owner as a donor car for the install. it was never meant to be a new build up for the cobra. what suprised me was the programmer gave them 43 hp alone. then with the pulley install the gains were minimal. that tell's me that hypertech pulled all the timing out of the motor to run the smaller pulley size. the show was trying to convince us that the programmer alone would not void the warrenty but the changing of the pullies would not be worth it. and basically scare someone against cai & exhaust.

Who can we all send an email to to get them to run a real buildup episode? Surely the folks on this site have some pull, I mean there are a shit load of us!

yeah guys, but watch this weekend they'll put heads and a cam in the SS. i agree not enough. the blower install on the ss or turbo kit, maybe it's the chevy guy who has the big peanuts on the show and the other guys are just his beaches

Well repost or not this had to be discussed AGAIN because it was just too disappointing for me :mj:

Either way glad to see everyone was as dissapointed as me and it just shows I have been too darn busy for my own liking lately as I missed the last post on this topic and I try to get here often.

haha...I was waiting to see his post in here. Praise Adolf...er...I mean Bassin

 

[slythetove]

Yeah heaven forbid you guys learn to search and stop asking the same question 100 times, and posting the same threads repeatedly.

That would be a tragedy.

Bassin sure is a German soldier who helped try to exterminate an entire race of people for suggesting that.

Interesting take on why they did it, but changing the intake and exhaust won't void your warrantee, so there was no reason for them to "scare" owners into not doing those two mods. The real reason I belive they did the show was to simply highlight the programmer, which unfortunately is not set up for an intake and exhaust change. For whatever dumb reason. Hence their "advice" not to replace the intake and exhaust. LOL! Those who know these Cobras will now be quick to avoid the Hypertech programmer.

I agree. Some get way to up tight about reposts and not using the Search button. Some will use it and some will not. Some people CHOOSE to repost to start a fresh discussion. Some simply didn't know there was a previous post. If people get annoyed with those who "re-post" then they should simply pass by the thread. JMO. ;-)

ZIEG HEIL to..........bassin247......lol.......j/k.

Yeah it's the same thing they did to the grand national damn seat cover. Who cares about seats cover? Pulley and hypertech huh! You get 25-30 rear wheel with just an air filter plus another 30-40hp with catback. And to think I taped this show because of that. Well at least I saw one on the dyno.
